Director & Partner, Private Equity – Private Wealth & Family Office Capital

About the role

A London-based institutional private equity firm is looking to collaborate with an experienced private wealth professional to lead capital formation across family offices, ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth investors and private banking channels. The firm is founder-led, with institutional governance and a proven strategy across deep-tech, healthcare, financial services and insurance. The role suits someone who has spent their career advising private wealth clients and raising capital, and wants to own the function and share in the economics of what is built.

Key responsibilities

• Drive capital raising for the firm's fund products, focusing on family offices, UHNWI, HNWI and private banking channels.
• Build an account plan for each investor relationship and position the firm's value proposition correctly for each client segment.
• Build and deepen working relationships with key investors and decision-makers in target organisations.
• Understand investors' commercial situation: allocation priorities, liquidity constraints, risk appetite and investment preferences.
• Advise private wealth clients on investments and capital allocations, acting as a trusted partner rather than a transactional fundraiser.
• Prepare and deliver investor documentation, presentations and reporting in line with compliance, legal and audit requirements.
• Stay current on market developments, competitor positioning and the evolving needs of private wealth allocators.
• Participate meaningfully in the economics of capital raised, including annual bonus, GP carry participation and equity in the firm.

Required profile

• 15+ years working directly with clients in the private wealth sector (family offices, UHNWI, HNWI and related channels).
• A successful, attributable track record of capital raised from private wealth investors.
• Background in private banks, asset managers, multi-family offices, PE firms, fund-of-funds or fund placement agents.
• Experience advising private wealth clients on investments or capital allocations, not just product distribution.
• Extensive existing network of private wealth investors capable of generating commitments.
• Excellent presentation skills and a good understanding of alternative investments and fund industry processes.
• Entrepreneurial spirit, comfortable working autonomously in a small, senior team; knowledge of DeepTech markets is desirable but not essential.

What we offer

• Highly competitive base salary.
• Generous annual bonuses linked to capital raising performance.
• GP carry participation with significant potential to grow.
• Opportunity to become a partner in a short timeframe for the right candidate.
• Possibility to work remotely from other major global financial centres.
